Review

Q (8/95, pp.132-133) - 3 Stars - Good - "...DREAM emerges as a polished creation, assembled and controlled by experimental Canadian composer Brook, who edges Srinivas towards a slightly more Western atmosphere than he's used to..."
Alternative Press (1/96, p.89) - "...a soundscape of the mind where Indian and Western music fuse into a very trippy, fairly psychedelic whole....This is not a record that lies there and bleeps randomly. It draws you in, as the instruments climb and inspire each other..."
Down Beat (12/95, p.73) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...DREAM is remarkably coherent, evocative material which transcends genre altogether."
Option (1-2/96, p.118) - "...a subtle, pan-ethnic rhythmic base to improvise over....equal parts Latin, Middle Eastern and American funk..."
The Beat (V.15 #3 1996, p.27) - "...the long overdue fulfillment of the space music promise that berely got the `aum' out of its maw 30 years ago before the acid jolt was transmuted into ambient music wallpaper."

Title Note

East meets West in a stunning tour de force of inner and outer world music. On paper, just seating Indian master mandolin player Srinivas with "infinite guitarist" Brook is enough to set sparks flying. Sonically, it's not much of a stretch to imagine the '80s KIng Crimson unit working its way into the same ethnological grooves; KC stickman Trey Gunn even guests on the fiery opener, "Dance."

Actually there's a lot more going on here than just mandolin and guitar interplay. Keyboards, drums both acoustic and electronic, and myriad varieties of percussion play as essential a role in these four psycho-ragas. Purists may continue to holler foul at the seeming pollution of yet another indigenous resource, but the studio atmosphere, as evidenced by playback, instead indicates a common fusion of aesthetic, mood, and mind. And it's one red-hot communion.
